- Breathing deeply aids the release of endorphins which induces clarity of mind and supports focus. (For an extra endorphin boost, try Reflexology for relaxation during revision in the run-up to exams. Contact Sue at the Centre for Holistic Health for more information.)
- Postural Pain - this can be a major source of discomfort during long hours of revision. When we hold poor postural patterns and combine this with stress, we can quickly develop soft tissue pain and fatigue. Regular movement breaks are key - stretch, wriggle and rotate your limbs to keep blood circulating through your tissues.
- Eye Strain - most of our study now happens for many hours in front of a computer screen. To rest your eyes, cup your eyes with the palms of your hands. This cuts out light stimuli and gives your eye muscles a break, preventing headaches and fatigue.
